I dump the recycle bin on a regular basis. I do have one backup from this morning that is after the first crash, but before the major one that deleted an image file and then wouldn't stay open without crashing.
I did an import of a GEDCOM file, but decided I didn't want to redo everything I've accomplished since the beginning of this month. Instead I let the program verify and check things, then had it remove all linked images. I'll deal with the images later since they seem to be the source of the crashes. It only crashes in the media area of the program. The images should be relinked anyway because I was finding that unlinking and relinking took longer since there were a lot of duplicates. The one part I'm going to hate the most is relinking all of the source images because many are numbered as generated by Ancestry.com. I do have a report of all images and who they are attached to. It's the very least that FTM2010 could accomplish, but not as complete as I prefer (to include notes). I could send you the zipped backup. It has all of the image links to external files so you might have a problem with that, or do you just need the FDB file? -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Dennis M.

Customize the import and tell Legacy not to import the OBJE tag. *** I would still advise deleting your *.usr files. This will eliminate one potential problem cause. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
